Airbus sales double EADS profits
EADS, the majority-owner of Airbus, has
seen first-half profits more than
double to 816m euros (£564m; $979m)
thanks to increased plane deliveries.
Airbus, which is 80% owned by EADS and
20% owned by BAE Systems, saw sales
rise 12% to 11.26bn euros.
Plane deliveries for the six months
reached 189, up from 161 in the year-
ago period, with EADS forecasting 360
deliveries for the whole of 2005.
EADS said it expected a "strong"
performance for the full year.
